Remodeling Of The Memorial Union
NSU faculty members Tom Hansen and
Dr. Jay Ruud each had works published in
the South Dakota Humanities Council's
"Silver Anniversary Anthology." The
anthology commemorates 25 years of the
South Dakota Humanities Council and
includes works by humanities scholars
throughout the state.
Hansen published five poems in the
anthology. The group of poems is titled
"Local Conditions" because they were all
inspired by the South Dakota landscape.
Ruud published an essay titled "The
Restorative Function of Teacher Institutes;
or When You Call Me That, Smile." Ruud's
essay concerned the role of humanities
sponsored teacher institutes in improving
teachers' preparedness and morale.
Copies of the anthology may be
purchased at the University Bookstore.
In observance of World AIDS Day, Dec. 1,
the National AIDS hotline is encouraging use
of its Group Calls program so students and
other groups can leam about HIV/AIDS from
a highly trained hotline counselor. By advance
arrangement, any group with a speaker phone
can schedule a Group Call with the hotline.
While Group Calls are available any time, the
hotline is suggesting the service to teachers
and group leaders as a special program on
December 1, when World AIDS Day is observed
under the sponsorship of the United Nations
Program on HIV/AIDS.
To arrange a group call, contact the National
AIDS Hotline at (800) 342-2437. The National
AIDS Hotline is operated by the American Social

Many students on Northern's
campus do not know where the
Memorial Union is and what is
located in the building itself.
Some students don't realize
that the Union is where the
Bookstore, Den and Post Office
are located. This prompted
Northern State University
Officials to look into making the
Memorial Union the center of
campus as Unions on other
campuses are now. Don
Erlenbusch, Vice President of
Finance and Administration,
gave many good reasons for the
remodeling project.
Erlenbusch said, "In my travels
to other college campuses I have
toured their Unions and the
students use them more than
Northern students use the Union
here...other campus Unions are
thriving and used by the
students." This was one of the
factors that attributed to the
remodeling project.
1 The Union now houses a
( gallery, a ballroom, two medium-sized
meeting rooms, the post
office, the bookstore, the Den,
Student Affairs, and Student
Association offices and a
student lounge. The remodeling
calls for more offices for the
following: nurse's office,
counselors, Minority Affairs, the
current Student Affairs, and
Student Association offices.
Along with offices, there will be
four big meeting rooms that can

be made into one large room for
larger groups. Four smaller
meeting rooms, a gallery, a
lounge, larger food services, a
computer room, and a larger
dining area for students are
included in the plans. The new
design will also allow more light
into the building, making it a more
"open and inviting place for
students to gather," according to
Erlenbusch. The remodeling will
also include a central heating and
cooling system instead of the
three that are now in use from
former renovations and additions
to the Union, Erlenbusch said.
The remodeling at this point in
time is still in the design phase.
"No plans have been set in stone.
This allows for changes that
come up along the way due to
funding or construction
problems." said Erlenbusch. He
explained some of the ideas for
helping to fund such a project. As
of August 9, 1997, the total cost
for the project was almost $4
million dollars. "The General
Activity Fee will increase three
dollars per credit," he said. As far
as when we can expect the project
to begin and finish, Erlenbusch
explained the following plans.
"Construction is expected to
begin in February or March of
1998 and finish in June of 1999.
Construction is expected to last
16 months before completion.
As far as plans being on
schedule, they are. We still need
members were ordered to
update wills, put their
finances in order, and say
goodbye to their families for
several months.
Some of the people called to
active duty were husbands,
mothers, students, sisters
and brothers. What will life
be like after an eight month
absence?
One father got to see his

to see who will be responsible
for the construction and
remodeling."
Bob Courtney, Director of
Student Development and
Residence Life, and Tim Schut,
Student Association President,
said their organizations are not
planning to increase activities.
However, Courtney noted, "We
hope to see a continuing increase
in the sponsoring of events for
students, as we are now. And we
continue to plan to have the Union
open more with more events
planned, as we do now." The
remodeling of the Union, and
making it more open and inviting
to the students, may lead to more
and more activity in the Union for
students.
Erlenbusch said that the facility
will continue to be used during
construction. Courtney agreed,
stating, "Students may have to
put up with fewer activities or
events being canceled due to
construction, but that is all part
of the process." Use of the Union
throughout the project may be
affected by the construction, but
the end result will be worth the
wait. The remodeling of the Union
will lead to a more efficient use of
the building and a better place for
students to gather socially and to
relax. Both Erlenbusch and
Courtney agree that students
will enjoy the remodeled Union,
and it is an exciting process.
